(NEWSER) – When Dennis “Nathan” Meyer apparently overdosed on Dilaudid, a painkiller, while hanging out with Chelsie Berry, 24, and Jared Prier, 28, last week, police say the Missouri pair reacted in perhaps the worst possible way: They allegedly took a selfie with his corpse, dumped the body, and then posted the selfie to Facebook.

A tipster told police about the picture, which allegedly shows Berry and Prier with a "passed out" Meyer in the front seat of his car. When police questioned Berry, she said she was hanging out with Meyer when he started acting "crazy" after injecting himself with the painkiller, so she called Prier, one of Meyer's friends, who came to pick her up at a McDonald's. But after Meyer lost consciousness, the pair eventually realized he was no longer breathing.
